Where the genealogy tree fits inside your MLM software

The genealogy tree is one feature of the full MLM software, it visualizes the same network that powers commissions, wallet and payouts. You don't buy a genealogy product; you buy MLM software and this tree shows who is where.

  1. Compensation plan

    Your binary, matrix, unilevel, monoline or generation rules decide where a new member is placed and how legs, grids or chains fill. Explore plans

  2. Genealogy tree (this feature)

    Maps sponsor vs placement, renders the plan-aware shape, and lets admins and members search, filter and export, tree + list views from the same data.

  3. Commissions, wallet & reports

    The same lineage the tree shows drives commission management, e-wallet & payouts and reports & analytics, what you see is what the engine pays on.

All features are included per your MLM software package, see pricing & cost drivers. The demo shows the tree running inside the real software, not as a mock.

Who uses this feature

Who uses the genealogy tree inside the software?

Built for teams buying MLM software, owners launching a new network and agencies setting it up for a client, and for the distributors who need a clear MLM tree view of their own downline without seeing the whole company.

Company owners (buying software)

See the entire placement structure your plan pays on, not a marketing mock. Verify sponsor vs placement inside the software before payout logic runs.

Agencies (configuring for a client)

Configure sponsor and placement rules and which node fields display, show tree + list on a shareable demo, then hand off a tested build.

Distributors / members (using the software)

Each member sees my team tree, their downline only, with compressed lineage and plan-aware shape where your plan applies. No global access needed.

Feature at a glance

What does the genealogy tree feature do inside your MLM software?

Inside your MLM software, the genealogy tree maps every member to a sponsor and to a placement position in the compensation structure. MLM Bazaar keeps both as separate records, so genealogy tree, sponsor and placement never collapse into one ambiguous line, and what the tree shows is what the software pays on.

Two views, one truth, inside the software

Tree view follows placement (how your plan branches or chains). List view is a flat, searchable genealogy list. Sponsor view follows referral lineage. Toggle without duplicating data , all within the same software.

Plan-aware rendering

Binary renders left/right legs with spillover; matrix as a fixed-width grid; unilevel as unlimited frontline; monoline as a single chain; generation as rank-gap lineage. Not a generic diagram, the feature renders the plan you actually run.

Traceable, not decorative

Every node links to its lineage path. That trace ties the tree to commission management and payouts inside the software, what you see is what the engine pays on.

Plan-aware, not generic

How does the tree look for different compensation plans?

The same genealogy module renders the structure your plan actually pays on. Show buyers the tree they will run, not a stock binary diagram.

Genealogy tree rendering per compensation plan, tested on a working demo from your plan doc
Plan Tree shape you see Placement logic shown Also see
Binary Two-leg tree Left / right position + spillover depth Binary plan
Matrix Fixed width grid Breadth-first fill, width × depth coordinates Matrix plan
Unilevel Unlimited frontline Directly under sponsor, direct downline breadth Unilevel plan
Monoline Single chain Sequential bottom-append, no branching Monoline plan
Generation Gap lineage Generation depth with rank qualification Generation plan

All five shapes are demonstrable on the working demo from your plan doc, see all compensation plans or custom plan for a hybrid.

Two scopes, one module

What can admins and distributors do in the tree?

Admin view

  • Full network, entire genealogy, tree or list, with lineage path
  • Search by ID, name or join date, highlighted node keeps ancestry visible
  • Compression badges, rolled-up lineage flagged where your plan compresses
  • Export, filtered tree / list export for reporting or migration

Member view

  • My downline only, scoped to their position, not the whole company
  • Direct + depth, see direct referrals and depth within paid lineage
  • Same search, ID / name / date scoped to their downline
  • Same trace, compression lineage shown consistently with admin view

Screenshots below show both scopes from approved test data, no income or growth visuals.

Configuration

What can MLM Bazaar configure in your genealogy tree?

Set once from your plan doc, visible everywhere the tree appears, and re-tested on the demo before launch.

Search & filter

By member ID, name, and join date. Combine with level / rank filters where your plan defines them. Results keep lineage context.

Tree + list modes

Tree for visual lineage, list for flat, scannable genealogy. Both respect the sponsor vs placement split.

Compression display

Shows rolled-up lineage where your plan compresses. Off by default if your plan doesn't use it, not forced.

Export

Export the filtered view for reporting. Respects admin vs member scoping and your BV / SV / PV labels.

Scoping

Admin = whole network. Member = own downline depth. No custom code for standard scoping.

Node fields & labels, per plan

What each node shows is configured: ID/name, sponsor, placement coordinate, rank, package, join date, BV/SV/PV and compression badge. Consistent across tree, list and exports.

Demo before production

How is the genealogy tree tested before it goes live?

What you test is what goes live. The demo is the acceptance point.

  1. Share your plan doc

    Compensation plan, placement rules, any depth / compression / rank logic.

  2. Map sponsor vs placement

    Confirm standard vs custom and which tree shape your plan needs.

  3. Configure demo

    Genealogy seeded with sample members across branches / chains / generations.

  4. You test it

    Search by ID / name / date, toggle tree / list, check compression, run exports.

  5. Verify against plan

    Placement positions checked against your rules; sponsor lineage intact.

  6. Check reporting

    Genealogy report + export traceable to the same lineage path the tree shows.

  7. Fix & re-test

    Corrections re-tested on the same demo, not described after the fact.

  8. Approved → production

    Only the approved config ships. Typical 3 to 7 days when scope and approvals are ready, not a promise.

Visibility

What reports and exports are available?

Genealogy tree

Interactive tree with lineage path, tap any node to see its sponsor and placement ancestry. Plan-aware shape.

Genealogy list

Flat, filterable list of the same data, faster for search, audit and bulk review. Same filters.

Highlights stay in context

Matching nodes stay highlighted with their lineage visible, you don't lose context after a search.

Exports

Filtered exports of tree or list, scoped by role. No credentials or client data exposed, approved test data only.

Related: commission management, e-wallet & payouts, reports & analytics.

Getting started, per node, per plan

What we need to configure your tree view

To configure the tree your plan actually pays on:

  • Your compensation plan document, which plan(s) you run, placement rules and any depth / compression / rank logic
  • Which information each tree node should show: ID/name, sponsor, placement coordinate, rank, package, join date, BV/SV/PV and compression badge
  • Which level / rank filters apply, per your plan doc, not hard-coded, so binary legs, matrix grids or monoline chains show the fields your plan pays on
  • If the plan is still in draft, we walk through the standard structure for your chosen plan first and configure from there. The demo is where mismatches surface, not after launch.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What does the genealogy tree feature do inside MLM software?

The genealogy tree is a feature inside MLM Bazaar MLM software that maps every member to a sponsor link and to a placement position. MLM Bazaar stores both separately. Tree view follows placement (how your plan branches or chains), list view is a flat searchable genealogy, and sponsor view follows referral lineage. Admins see the full network; members see only their downline, all tested on a working demo.

What is the difference between sponsor view and placement tree?

Sponsor view follows referral lineage, A sponsored B. Placement tree follows the plan's structure, for example, legs in binary, grid coordinates in matrix, unlimited frontline in unilevel, or a single chain in monoline. Both are stored separately in MLM Bazaar, so you can toggle between them without changing the underlying data.

How does the genealogy tree look for different compensation plans?

The same genealogy feature renders differently per plan: binary shows left/right legs with spillover position, matrix shows a fixed-width grid, unilevel shows unlimited frontline, monoline shows a single chain, and generation shows rank-gap lineage. The working demo lets you see the plan you chose, not a generic diagram. See binary, matrix, unilevel, monoline and generation.

Can a distributor see only their own downline?

Yes. Admins see the full network. Each member sees reporting scoped to their own position, their direct team, depth and compressed lineage. The scope rule is configured, not hard-coded.

Can we search, filter and export the genealogy tree?

Yes. Search by member ID or name, filter by join date and use level/rank filters where your plan applies. Results highlight the matching node and keep its lineage path visible. Export the filtered tree or genealogy list for reporting, exports respect the same admin vs member scoping and your configured volume labels.

Does the tree handle compression or roll-up?

Yes, where your plan uses it. Inactive or unqualified positions can be shown compressed in the same placement view, with lineage badges so payouts and views stay consistent. Whether compression applies is configured to your plan, not forced.

Does the genealogy tree create legal or compliance risks?

The tree is a display layer inside the software, it maps sponsor and placement, it does not determine whether a business model is compliant. MLM Bazaar provides software and implementation services; the customer is responsible for ensuring its business model, products, compensation plan and operations comply with applicable law. The Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules, 2021 prohibit pyramid and money-circulation schemes. Confirm your model with a qualified legal professional and see our compliance guide.

Is the genealogy tree sold separately or included in the MLM software?

The genealogy tree is not sold separately, it is part of the standard genealogy and network management module inside MLM Bazaar MLM software. The module, sponsor and placement stored separately, tree and list views with plan-aware rendering, search by ID/name/date, export, and admin vs member scoping tested on a working demo, is included in the Rs 19,999 setup + Year 1. From Year 2, hosting, domain and support renew annually per the service agreement. GST invoicing, payment gateway, SMS/WhatsApp and deep custom tree analytics are scoped separately.

What information can the tree show per member, and can it be customized?

Yes, per your plan, each node can show ID/name, sponsor, placement coordinate, rank, package, join date, BV/SV/PV and compression badge. What the node displays is configured from your compensation plan document, not hard-coded, and stays consistent across tree view, list view and exports. If your plan is still in draft, we walk through the standard structure for your chosen plan first and configure from there.
